Marvel’s Princess Chapter 35: Bait

Victoria is tall and has a serious expression. Although she is dressed no different from ordinary agents, wearing a white shirt and a black body armor, at a glance, you can still tell the difference between them.

She is very smart and has a clear purpose in doing things. She only makes friends with people who are valuable and worthy of her friendship. You can say that she is a refined egoist, or you can say that she represents the elite of today's generation of America.

Bella has proven her worth and has no clear personal label, so she has been classified into a range where she can invest appropriately and continue to observe.

Victoria Hand has a wide network of contacts. She knows many people in education, politics and the military. She studied well in college, has many friends, and is a well-known sports athlete. As for whether she really loves sports. Exercise, God knows...

After graduation, I made a lot of friends. Although I can’t say that I have friends all over the world like George W. Bush, I can still say that I have a wide circle of friends.

Bella is still in the ignorant stage about going to college here. Victoria Hand used her own experience to talk about some experiences and provide some valuable suggestions that will be beneficial to her future development.

......

After nearly a day of arduous trekking, the large group finally entered the Sapalpa Canyon early the next morning.

After two hundred years of erosion, no trace of human life can be seen in the canyon. Just as the Indian chief who cursed with his life said, he returned this land to the world. nature.

The tree canopy blocked the sky, and half-meter-high weeds could be seen everywhere. Survivors and agents, a large force of more than a hundred people, broke the peace in the canyon. The insects fled their homes one after another. Some kind of The sleeping consciousness is slowly awakening.

This is where the trouble comes. The agents don’t care about natural harmony with the insects in the canyon. The curse of the Indian chief will break out on the night of the full moon. Before that, they need to build a strong residence to resist the shells. Pull the endless swarm of insects in your mouth.

The agents had some disputes over the level of defense. Some believed that building some strong rooms was enough, while others believed that the camp must be built according to the standards of a fortress. Finally, Victoria Hand raised this issue to Bella.

"How big do you think the swarm will be?"

How could I know how big it is! That is a curse, a category of magic, and cannot be considered using common sense, such as the food chain, climate environment and other factors.

Bella took out her notes: "Look at this paragraph. This is the description that the owner of the notes, the missionary, heard from others... He said that the sky was completely covered at that time, and the Indians People... no, we call them Native Americans now! The blood of the indigenous people dyes the river red, the colonists... no, well, they should be called American pioneers! The pioneers use civilization! After trying to persuade the indigenous people to leave, they encountered countless insect attacks..."

After being corrected by Victoria Hand, Bella had already paid great attention to the use of these words. No one cares about what you think in your heart, but you still have to pay attention in public.

"This fortress cannot be too strong. If we isolate the unknown enemy, then our efforts will be in vain! But it cannot be too weak. In addition to the bait, the survivors must face the unknown enemy head-on, and the other survivors must also face it. Facing the swarm attack brought by the curse."

The core meaning is just one sentence, the defense level cannot be too strong, but it cannot be too weak either.

Don’t let us be killed by the Indian curse before death comes. That would be funny.

Modern society has a lot of machinery and equipment, and some houses can be built very quickly. In the morning, we entered the canyon, and in the evening, a medium-sized building complex was completed.

The agents have generators, which can supply electricity to a limited extent, but there is very little water. A conservative estimate is that they will have to stay here for at least two days. Even if they can buy water from a distant town, it should not be wasted.

No one made a loud noise at this time, everyone was secretly on guard, waiting for the arrival of the unknown enemy.

Whispering is indispensable. Although everyone can temporarily put aside those unrealistic fantasies under the premise of life threat, but a large number of people coming to such a deserted place will always cause some discussion.

Bella has no explanation for this. With the official people here, why does she need to talk more? You can just fool me!

Don't mention it, Victoria Hand is really a talent. She used excuses such as 'the invisible killer cannot kill in the forest' and 'the other party is in a complex environment and cannot use high-tech equipment' to express the survivors' doubts. Prevaricate.

Things like Death are not suitable for ordinary people to know. Even for Bella, an insider, Victoria Hand also uses the term "unknown enemy" to refer to it.

In order to give Death an opportunity, the agents deliberately placed many safety hazards in the building.

Broken ropes, leaky electrical appliances, loose iron frames, and all kinds of death traps have been set up by them. From the perspective of the God of Death, the survivors are prey, but if you change the perspective, then You will find that the God of Death is also prey!

If the insect swarm caused by the curse does not come into contact with the God of Death, it will definitely not work, but if hundreds of thousands or millions of insects flood in, then they will not be able to withstand it. How to balance the relationship between the two so that the God of Death can be just right? Facing the curse will test the survivor's control ability.

"The records say that the curse is launched at the brightest moment of the moonlight at night. Maybe we can set a few key nodes?..."

Bella was not very sure at this time. The words in the missionary's notes were all what he heard from hearsay. People who have personally experienced this Indian curse have died. Who knows when the curse will be strongest.

Victoria Hand frowned. She had experienced many supernatural events, so she didn't understand them at all.

It is because I understand that I feel that this opportunity is difficult to grasp.

"Let's make two plans, first..."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome. If you are ready, then let me take the initiative to trigger the curse."

Storm Ororo has been playing catch-up, but at this critical moment, she stepped out and solved a core problem for everyone.

Storm is not old, she looks like she is in her twenties. Bella really wanted to go over and get close to her, but the eldest sister kept a straight face and kept her distance from everyone, so she didn't Opportunity to speak.

Now is a good opportunity.

Bella volunteered: "I was the first to predict the plane crash, and I will be the bait."

Victoria Hand did not agree. She meant that professionally trained agents would serve as bait, while Bella and the survivors would just hide behind.
